Love me some multi-ball.

My only issue is that when I get ball drains, I get them all at the same time!

I really don't mine if one of the 3 ball multiball drains on FT. it makes it a lot easier to lock one in Casters Club.

i find that ball control during mb modes depends on the machine. some machines have very tough flipper specific shots for jackpots and supers. in this case i'll cradle 1, 2, or 3 balls on one flipper at times. if the machines has LOTS of jackpot shots then i normally will just go crazy and try to keep all balls in the upper playfield and in the ramps. i didn't vote, i feel i fall under a different category;

great at m.b. control and jackpots, if i know the machines rules and shots well.

Good to see that I am in the majority. Pretty much suck.

I hate it when that happens! I can lose 3 balls within a second of each other.

Im a wanna be . Its tough and all but someone has to do it.

I went to 5 balls...that says it all....5 ball /multiball....I need to practice more.

I always immediatley lose them In the outlanes. Really frustrates me. But I do loooove multiball

I call that the Tron effect. Happens to me all the time on that damn game!

TAF is my multiball drain monster. Its showtime! Oh wait, back to one ball again....Not to good at kicking butt on mutliball for sure. Im a wannabe as well.

As long as I can keep stuffing ramps, pops, or VUK's, I can usually hold on for a while. IM just seems to be my multiball kryptonite for some reason...
I just hate it when they go over the flippers on a sling collision, or from a failed ramp attempt while cradling.
So cheap!!!

I'm as streaky at multiball as I am pinball in general. I'm pretty sure I hold the world's record for quickest multiball. But sometimes I can successfully stow balls in pops, etc, and get things going. My favorite is the purposeful drain if you know you have ball save.

I am actually getting better on multiball but only on ToM. LoL. When Im feeling good about myself I just move over to WH2O to receive my serving of humble pie and some drain-o to wash it down.

I usually do well but there are those times...

I love the rush of Multi-Ball.

bk2k is the most punishing multiball ever. It makes me feel like I can barely flip the ball up the field. I usually love multi ball, but on that machine, I am like "ugh, let's get this embarrassment over quick"

Taxi is a close second for spanking my A$$ the fastest.

I panic.

I think the entire physics of the universe change during multiball because how can I keep a ball in play for 10 minutes but then lose all 3 at once during multiball?

I have tried like hell to control and have a plan with multi-ball-Not Working.
I have lately pretty much given up and now mostly keep flipping as fast as I can until I have 1 ball left in play and can gain somewhat control of that last remaining ball.
Hard to admit,but that's where I am at lately.

Getaway I'm usually decent. That's an easy one though, just pop a ball up the supercharger coming out of the lock then take your time. Super's another story, but I could probably do it eventually.

BK2K I'm usually a disaster. Hey, let's dump all 3 balls on the right flipper at the same time! With no ball saver! On a game that moves like a caffeinated squirrel! Basically pray I can get one to the upper PF quickly and don't worry about the others draining. Jackpot's almost not even worth it anyway unless it's maxed, it's a lot easier to just keep cranking out WAR hurry-ups. Ransom is a lot more fun, since it's easy to hit the skyway for EB/points and you can intentionally drain and re-plunge balls to the upper PF for jackpot shots and WAR millions. You can also be a real sneaky bastard and leave a ball in the plunger at the end, which basically becomes a free extra ball.

I love multi-ball great way to rack up points on most pins. I am starting to get pretty good with multi-ball but definitely have room to improve.

Multi-ball is like sex.... hard to get and over real fast when you get it .

Haha I always figured myself to be pretty decent at MBs, as I often cradle one to two, and pick off whatever with the other, but yeah, in TAF, it's tough. I find if I can get one cradled on the right flipper, I can tackle thing MB really well, as the swamp spits out the ball to the right flipper, above the cradled ball, and over to the left, for an easy shot back to the vault.

I find all of Lawlor b/w machines to be hard MBs. I believe the reason is because of his use of very low targets.

I could be better. I play a pretty controlled game. I rarely fire the ball right off the flippers without catching it first, and so there are many times where I blow multi-ball because I'm trying to control it TOO much. I'll have 2 balls trapped on my left flipper, for example, and will lose the free ball because I'm too paranoid about losing control of the two that are trapped. I don't know how many times I've lost a ball because it rolled off the end of the flipper in situations like that. Definitely something I'm working on.

Beyond THAT, however, I do alright.

My favorite part of almost any game! I think I'm silightly above average. Most people I watch can't seem to focus on more than one ball at a time and they're more concerned with keeping everything in play rather than setting up for jackopts.
Yeah, it's a gift for sure

Thank god for JD's super game feature because if I have a crappy first ball the next ball starts off in multi-ball as well

TZ multiball kicks my butt, always staring at the upper flipper trying to make the piano or ramp shot for battle the power shot while 1 or 2 balls drain below. But multiball is the best on any machine!

...story of my life.

I'm pretty good usually on multiballs, except Pat Lawlor's games which usually have a much more difficult combo/jackpot shot and I end up focusing too much on getting the jackpot and losing the other balls in the process.
